Instructions

Preheat your oven to 325°F and grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
Blend the cottage cheese, eggs, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and sugar on high for 60-90 seconds until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt to incorporate air.
Pour the blended wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix with a spatula until just combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips, then pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
Bake for 18-22 minutes until the top is set; a toothpick should come out with moist crumbs.
Allow to cool for 5 minutes in the pan before cutting into squares.

Notes

For a thicker texture, use higher-quality cottage cheese like Good Culture.
Ensure not to overmix the batter to keep the brownies tender and fudgy.
Reserve some chocolate chips to sprinkle on top before baking for a nice finish.
